As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.
Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.
Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.
Showers
YYZ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

He clearly likes his job and likes pleasing customers.
The only reason I had to order any drink after the first was that I kept changing my order. When I asked for my second cocktail, he made a comment about the specific ingredients I seemed to like. And he was right.
And he knows I like spiced rum and diet.

Noticed a BC white in the YVR DOM MLL, which was nice to see.
Haywire with a note identifying it as a pick by Veronica.
Nice to see.

A YVR concierge told me she had hopes the SS would open this year, due to the HKG, DEL, and prospective Australia flight times all being around the same hour.
She was well above the median competence I encountered this weekend, and quite friendly. But she works at the airport.

I'm 99% sure YYZ will open before YVR. YYZ has Europe.

Probably mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but lounge dragon for the YYZ TB Express has told me that the YYZ TB lounge is under renovations and target date for re-opening is March 2022. Most of my travel is TB now, which is unfortunate as the express lounge tends to have a wait list. At least there’s the United Club!

Good to hear. As a relatively new SE (last three years), I haven't been able to experience the Suite yet. One of my personal rewards to myself for surviving COVID was to book a flight through YYZ to Tokyo when Japan opens up and indulge.... Sadly I imagine the Suite will open before Japan does though.

YVR Dom lounge was the quietest I have seen it in years for a 5.20pm flight on Thursday last week. No self service. Limited offerings but they were pouring double drinks. The scan and order from your seat was not available apparently till the 5pm food offerings were out.
